Apomine (SR-9223i), an inhibitor of HMG-CoA-reductase, promotes apoptosis of myeloma cells in vitro and has been implicated in the regulation of myeloma in vivo. Apomine accelerates the degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and stimulates low-density lipoprotein receptor activity. Apomine enhances the antitumor effect of lovastatin on myeloma cells by downregulating 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase.

Meglutol (3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid) is an antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of acetate to hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.

Pitavastatin-d4 Sodium Salt is a deuterated compound of Pitavastatin Sodium Salt. Pitavastatin Sodium Salt has a CAS number of 574705-92-3. Pitavastatin (NK-104) sodium is a potent hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor. Pitavastatin sodium inhibits cholesterol synthesis from acetic acid with an IC 50 of 5.8 nM in HepG2 cells. Pitavastatin sodium is an efficient hepatocyte low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) receptor inducer. Pitavastatin sodium also possesses anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-osteoarthritis, antineoplastic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and reno-protective effects [1] [2] [3] [8].

β-Muricholic acid (β-MCA) is a murine-specific primary bile acid.[1],[2] Dietary administration of β-MCA reduces HMG-CoA reductase activity in liver microsomes from mice fed a high cholesterol and cholic acid diet.[3] Dietary administration of β-MCA also dissolves 100% of gallstones in a gallstone-susceptible mouse model of diet-induced cholesterol gallstones.[4]

Acetoacetyl-coenzyme A (acetoacetyl-CoA) is a precursor to HMG-CoA in the isoprenoid pathway.[1],[2] It is reversibly converted to acetyl-CoA by acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase in the mitochondria. Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) deficiency results in a build-up of ketone bodies leading to intermittent ketoacidosis.[3],[4] Acetoacetyl-CoA is also an intermediate in the microbial biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate.[5]

(Rac)-3′-Hydroxy Simvastatin, a metabolite of Simvastatin, acts as a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, demonstrating a K i value of 0.2 nM.

Atorvastatin lactone is a prodrug form of atorvastatin. Which is an orally active 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor.

Atorvastatin 3-Deoxyhept-2E-Enoic Acid is an impurity of Atorvastatin. Atorvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and has the ability to effectively decrease blood lipids.

N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is an active metabolite of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin .1,2N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is formed when rosuvastatin undergoes demethylation, primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.1 1.Macwan, J.S., Ionita, I.A., and Akhlaghi, F.A simple assay for the simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin acid, rosuvastatin-5S-lactone, and N-desmethyl rosuvastatin in human plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)Anal.

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is an intermediate in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway derived directly from farnesyl pyrophosphate and used in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids.[1] It is also serves as a substrate in the prenylation of a variety of critical intracellular proteins including small GTPases.[2] This post-translational modification is necessary for correct localization of proteins to intracellular membranes for proper functionality and has become a focus of anticancer drug discovery.[3][4]
